Deep Blue (Ji Lan) Glazed Slim Steeper

This set is a unique combination of glass and ceramics, utilizing the fashion of the former and the durability of the latter all in one. It consists of three parts: a glass lid, a ceramic inner, and a glass pot. Glass handles on either side of the body help to prevent heat transfer and allow it to be picked up and moved without fear of scalding your fingers. In addition, the bottom of the inner is double-filtered to provide a pure tea steep.

The surface of the inner and the cups are coated with sacrificial deep blue glaze. Sacrificial glaze is a type used from antiquity to give porcelain a uniform deep-blue color, like that of the sea. The surface of the ceramic also outlines a few gingko leaves as decoration, adding another artistic touch to the set. Whether for brewing black, pu-erh, or any of type of tea at home or in the office, this set is an excellent and convenient daily choice.

The ceramic parts of the set are shiny and smooth-surfaced, with tiny Kai Pian, or small cracks, throughout the glaze. Note that this is a natural phenomenon; with prolonged use the tea will gradually seep into these cracks, forming different patterns of lines in the glaze.

The inverted glass lid is a natural inner base, making the brewing process clean and hygienic.
